Past, Present and Future.

The industry OF raising livestock.
like every other branch OF business,
has its ups and downs. A year or two
of depression in values will have the
effect of discopraging investors rs
readily as prosperous years will be the
means of causing large sums OF mon
sy to be invested in live stock, often UNI
wisely.
For several years, up to within the
past two, large sums of money were
realized by range cattle-owners, owning
to the increased value of their posses
sions when managed by themselves
and when the range was not circum-
scribed and beset by annoyances as ~
the present time. Those men who sold
and made large profits were, in many
instances, the pioneers in the business
and had engaged in it, not from any
expectation of realizing immense prof
its, but simply as means OF gaining a
livelihood. Then came flood time of
prosperity-a rapid advance in values,
and they experienced what does not
happen in many generations. Those
men belong to the past
The present range cattle-owners are,
for the most part, corporations. some
of which, through adversely have
learned that every business requires
experience and economy practiced in
the right direction in order to be sue
cessful. They are in possession at
time when market values are low and
immigrants are making farms OF what
was considered the arid region. They
are being made aware of the fact that
range cattle, graded up, and from
Southern climate, cannot endure the
wintry blasts without protection or
feed, and the result is dissatisfaction in
some quarters. They have found that
one practical cattleman, with but his
own Judgment to rely upon, can accom-
plish more than board of inexperienc-
ed directors, whose sole Recommended
tons for the positions occupied is the
money invested.
The future of the range industry can
be measured by the rapid change made
therein during recent years. Times
change and this manner of doing busi-
ness must change also. There is prog
ress experienced in all branches of
business, and he is the wise man who
realizes that fact. There is bad judg-
ment in standing still and decrying
things which have been so shaped as to
be unavoidable. 1t is the part of wis
dom to accept the inevitable and SO ad-
just business affairs as to be in line
with the progressive spirit of the age.

Atlanta's Domestic Wine.

The trouble with the domestic wine
that has suppanted whisky in Allan

and exactness. The domestic wine, on
the other hand. is vague and uncertain.

A Food that Prolongs Life.

1t has been the dream of certain i'm
aginative scientists, that chemistry
would some day discover food that
would nourish and strengthen the hui
man body, and prolong life, without
calling on the animal or vegetable crea-
ton; in other words. would do away
with the necessity of Strengthening cat
tie or eating grain, 10 sustain human
life. This view was regarded as chlmer-
ical, until the chemists succeeded in ar
officially creating organic matter; in
other words, substances which are only
found in plants and animals, which have
had life. Now comes the report that
an Italian, named Succi, managed TO
sustain life for a long period OF time, by
Il liquid preparations; he abstaining
from all ordinary food. Then there is
DR.. r. G. Fisher. of Sharon. Penn.
who has preparation which allows him
to take long fasts, without eating any
food. His contention is, that ordinary
medicines are apt to be ineffective, be-
cause the progress of digesting food in
terferes with their action. Hence, he
says, his discovery helps to cure disease,
because the patient can abstain from
food without detriment, while under the
care of the physician. The superiority
of DIR. Fishers nutriment over Succi' s
preparation lies in the fact that, while
the latter only subjects himself to abb
stinence, any one can, with Fishers dis
covery, stop eating food for quite a
long period. All this may seem triile
absurd. but there is no reason in the ma
ture of things. why the chemistry of the
future may not supply us with artificial
food. which may replace some of the
various forms of protoplasm upon which
human beings now subsist.- Demorest's

lie Is Proud and Win, ana His sonor-
GUS Voice 10 Worth Money.
I'VE have trouble in getting pro
fessional barker who is willing to assist
generally" said dime museum pro-
prie.or on the Bowery to u New York
Mail and Express reporter. you see
barker is as proud of his calling MS an
actor, and when he gets through talk
ing in front of the museum he doesn't
want to do anything else. They call it
their act. and go through it with the
same pride that Wilson Barrett acts the
character of Caudan. It is no easy
matter to bark for a museum; it takes
training. and great deal of 1t. A
man that hasn't got good PAIR OF
lungs is not fitted for the positl on.
The rising infection. too, must be used
almost exclusively, for it can be heard
better. The gatcman at railroad de-
pot is nowhere beside professional
barker. The former is not so clear and
distinct in pronunciation, and has ris-
ing infection of the voice for only one
or two sylables, and then a dreadful
falling infection, which has the general
effect of confounding the listener.
But the barker is clear and distinct;
and the passing crowd can catch on to
what he is saying. / confess that he is
mechanical, as a rule, and varies his
stereotyped sentences very little in the
course of months. All barkers are
vain, and many are as capricious as
prima donnas.
IL endeayored to get mine one day
to bark for special crowd passing
down the street, but he would not do it
because it was not his regular hour to
90 on. They are very exacting in their
contracts rs to how many hours they
shall be on duty, and the proprietor
who gets one to bark outside Of his
regular time is a genius. They are
somewhat independent, because good
bankers are scarce. IL greenhorn
goes to bark in front of museum the
people passing guy him fearfully and do
the museum more harm than good.
But veteran can not be ratified; he
never suffers from stage fright, and, no
matter who laughs at him, he talks
right along and pays no attention to
anyone. Few barkers ever rise above
their condition. A barker once, bar
ker always. They get very good sala-
ries, as much as some OF the minor
freaks in the show, but live up to
their income. They are fond of big
diamonds. and no well-regulated bar
ker has II shrt-front unless it is brilliant
ly studded with gems. Their grea,
drawback, bes being vain and too
proud to do other work, is their fond
ness for the cup. When the matinee is
over the actor goes to wet grocery
and braces up his voice with half-a-doz-
en- cock tails. | once had the temerity
to ask barker to personate some
freak in the museum, and he became
so furious he wanted to kill me. i, an
artist, become freakr he cried, in a
rage. He quit me, and l had to bark
two weeks before got another. 1t Is
no easy job, though, as some imagine. "

Bach's Lost Violin.

DdCll l1Obb AOAAkA
One of the most famous violinists in
select musical circles Of this country, is
Professor Bach, of New Haven, Conn.,,
gentleman with rotund form. whose
smooth outlines bear no suggestiveness
of the nays when the winter winds
whistled uncomfortably through the
rags that then clothed it. 1t Is a queer
story. Years ago, as e. P. r. James
might say, the now prosperous PROBES
sor Bach was q violinist in dramatic
company that was transforming the
northwest for bread and butter. For
tune smiled on them like December
sun, and the times were ''slow." Pass
ing one day IN the cars from one town
to another, Bach fell asleep, and when
he awoke his beloved violin was gone
from his side. Valnly he searched the
cars for it, and questioned here and
there; il could not be found. His de-
SPAR was great, and small consolation
was offered him by the manager, who
could not realize an artists love for his
instrument of expression. Bach wept
and raved to no effect, and the next
station abandoned the company
and train and started back on foot
to search for his beloved instrument.
He walked in this vain quest with hum
ger and thirst expressing him. until
he reached New Haven, in appear
ance, tramp, and for n time insane.
Walking into music store, in his rags
and misery, he asked the dealers to let
him take violin, and, in jest, they
passed to the supposed vagabond toy
instrument valued at twenty-gve cents.
Gently lifting the slender bow, he raised
the violin to his throat, playing, oh so
softly, an air of his childhood-a sim
pie, touching piece, that brought tears
to the eyes of all who heard him. When
he had finished they gave him the vio-
lin and he went out again to his lonely
search. Some weeks afterwards two
artists brothers passing down one of
the side streets of New Haven, halted
at the steps of an underground saloon,
from whose interior came forth exqus-
lite strains of music. Surprised at this,
they entered the place. They sat en-
tranced for hours, listening to such vio-
lin music as only maestro could pro-
duce. They finally questioned the play
err, who was none other than Bach, re-
duced to this sad state. They soon sat
isfied themselves that he was genius
and gave him assistance to restore not
only reason but his fortunes. He was
introduced into TIE home circle of Gov.
Ingcrsoll, and given opportunities 10

Old-Time Headgear of Women.

The present denunciation of the
headgear Of women recalls one OF the
stories of the Huguenots in 1881. A
distinguished Huguenot preacher OF
Montauban, Michel Berault, denounced
from his pulpit the fantastic and con-
spicuous headdress of women, which
was made on frame of wire in order
to produce u greater effect The ladies
would not give up the fashion, and
we're excluded from the Lords supper
in consequence. In the midst of the
trouble the family of Duplessis Mornay
arrived at Montauban. Nine. Mornay
was fashionable, pious and obstinate.
Perault refused to receive her at the
communion service. and demanded that
she should remove her hair. She
refused. She had worn the same style
of head-dress for fifteen years, and in
the chief churches of Germany, Eng
land and the Netherlands, and she
would not change it. The Bible said
nothing against wirei ana, moreover
1t was dangerous for the pastor to teach
the commandments of men for doc
trines. The minister also was obsti-
nate. and would not have her at the
communion, so the lady went to town
three miles of. and kept her Easter
where the Huguenot minister did not
think that the fashion of headgear was
an essential of religion. In another
case. NJ. de Ragicr had controversy
the high-born, pious Mime. de Lamy on
the subject OF the farthingale, or hoop
skirt. The lady valiantly defended her
rights. but was forced at last to yield.
and the farthingale disappeared for a
time. These anecdotes are told in
Professor Baird's The Huguenots and
Henry of Navarro. "
